Flischel exhibition ushers in the coming of Spring
When Jacqueline Numrich Flischel sits down to paint, she has a concept in mind in which ideas are derived from signs and symbols of everyday life.
"Concepts develop slowly or they come in waves or flashes," she said. "I firmly believe color is a language all its own. Color combines with form and allows an emotional expression.
Flischel's idealogy that color and form leading to an ultimate expression will be on display -- appropriately as spring's thin fingers begin to open and tiny blossoms start to show their teeth -- with her painting exhibition "The Colors of Spring", which will be from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 9, at the Robert A. Flischel Photography studio, located in The Strand at 6820 Wooster Pike, Mariemont.
Jacqueline has been painting for more than 40 years with an insatiable urgency to create.
Influenced by many Cincinnati artists such as Mitch Kaufman, Roland Huston, Jack Meanwell and Paul Chidway, along with abstract expressionist artists Hans Hofmann, Franz Kline and Willem De Kooning, Flischel's philosophy is to be honest with one's self and paint what you feel.
"The figure, still life and landscape are ideal subjects for my emotive palette. The vibrant interplay of form, color and texture enable me translate traditional subject matter into abstract expressions. There's a sense of freedom for me in portraying my world with loose boundaries and little inhibition," Flischel said.
Light refreshments will be served during the exhibition. For more information, call the studio at 271-3113.
